Kevin Rose and Marissa Mayer talk about Google!

As a part of the Digg Dialog series, this time Kevin Rose Founder and Chief Architect of Digg asking some questions from  Marissa Mayer, Vice President of Search Products & User Experience in Google.

I liked this Q&A session for some few reasons:

Firstly, Google have been always one of the most influential names in the Web industries and for sure, it would be always interesting to know more about it. But secondly, forget about the big name of Google or whatsoever, I really liked the way she responded to the questions which were not very positive at the first point! I mean, it was kinda interesting to me how she transformed negative sided questions to a positive look and then clarified her point of view in that regard. Watch the video, you’ll figure it out!

Amplify: A handy tool for keeping and sharing the Internet explorations

For many of us, Web is becoming the main source of information, no matter how and why we might get access to those certain pieces of data. Meanwhile, many of us would like to share what we have found online among our peers and friends and of course there are many tools to do so! Well, Good for us!
This is while, most of the free tools available to let us enjoy socializing our web experiences has certain sort of limitations, including the lack of enough space or privacy issues and/or many other conflicts.
A very useful platform which is really popular these days is definitely twitter and/or facebook. Both of these two are making a big difference in the way we are surfing the web and how we are interacting in our network. But, remembering all the issues they might have, I’ll gonna introduce you a very handy tool, to let us share stuffs online in a blog-like space, while sharing them directly to the twitter and facebook @ the same time! The very good thing for students as an example is the possibility of gathering certain information in regards to a particular subject, in order to do further studies or to use in final year project. In the other hand of course, it just gives everyone with any sort of occupations or interests, a free unique Web address to keep track of the Internet exploration, not as a complicated mass, but in chunks of useful information. I just loved the idea behind the Amplify!
